What a pity.)<br /><br />I am going to return to these aspects of Tembe later.<br /><br />I am also going to talk about his Stefan-Zweig-like comments about the life after the "great war".<br /><br />Thanks again,Aniruddha G.

Large tracts in it are devoted to self-defense. माझा संगीत व्यासंग is very good.<br /><br />Tembe acted in two PRABHAT films: Ayodhyecha Raja and Maya Machchhindra. He also wrote songs for those films, and set them to tune. No playback those days, so he also sang the songs filmed on him. Both films are easily available in Pune and are highly watchable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37823526.post-40972930412895295592011-03-13T10:36:54.746+05:302011-03-13T10:36:54.746+05:30contact 'Granth Abhiman', Panaji at this e...contact 'Granth Abhiman', Panaji at this email address: rajhaunsvitaran@dataone.inAniruddha G.
